Abstract

Treatment of a range of homochiral unsaturated beta-amino esters (containing a cis-dioxolane unit) with iodine promotes a novel ring-closing alkene iodoamination reaction which proceeds with concomitant N-debenzylation, providing a simple and stereoselective route to iodomethyl pyrrolidines. Functional group interconversion of the resulting iodomethyl pyrrolidines upon treatment with AgOAc proceeds via the corresponding aziridinium ion, with Subsequent deprotection giving access to polyhydroxylated pyrrolidines.
